Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever With Joe Fairless

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Ian Djuric, founder of Blake Capital Group, to unpack his journey from door-to-door trash sales to managing $2.2 billion in diversified real estate assets. Ian shares how he transitioned from a successful exit in the waste management industry into real estate by initially LPing into deals, then fully funding and running his own. He dives deep into the economics of multifamily renovations, why car washes are his new cashflow darling, and how he sources off-market industrial and hotel assets through strategic partnerships. The conversation also unpacks the hard truths and advantages of raising capital from both institutional and family office investors—and how asking investors what they actually want has been a key to his continued growth.
